About your contractor
A builder first.A roofer by choice.
I've been in construction since August 2015, and I spent those years building multi-million dollar custom homes before narrowing my focus to the part of the house that protects everything else — the exterior.
My wife and I moved to Austin as soon as we could after getting married, and we designed and built our own home to achieve Passive House US certification. For those in the know, that means we put a tremendous amount of building science into the design and construction of the place our family lives in.
I've been a long-time student of high-quality construction, and I now apply that same passion to exterior renovations — roof replacements, storm damage restoration, gutters and trim. The roof over your head gets the same standard I put over mine.
When we work together, you deal with me directly — the person who inspected your roof is the person who manages your build and shakes your hand at the final walkthrough.
Credentials
Trained to the standard your claim is judged by.
Credentials matter most when the person on the other side of the table holds them too. Mine were chosen for exactly that reason.
HAAG Certified Roof Inspector
The same credential carried by the insurance adjusters who evaluate storm damage claims. When I document your roof, I'm speaking the adjuster's language — because I hold their certification.
Certified Passive House Consultant
Training in high-performance construction and building science — how heat, air and moisture actually move through a home. It changes how I flash, vent and seal every roof I touch.
In construction since 2015
Years spent building multi-million dollar custom homes before narrowing my focus to roofing and exterior renovation. Large, detailed homes are not new territory for me.
How I work
People before profits. It's not a slogan.
I believe people are more important than profits — if I take care of people, people will take care of me. That's the principle behind every decision I make on your project.
I'm never the cheapest bid, and I don't try to be. My goal is to be the best: quality workmanship, honest communication, and a job done right for durability, longevity and beauty.
Most problems between homeowners and contractors are communication failures. You'll get straight answers, daily updates, and an education on your own home along the way — I'm a guide, not just a contractor.
